UMPC Tour Pack-list

Despite the terrible weather forecast (rain, clouds, heat, thunder) It’s time to finalize the pack-list and buy the last items, prepare the solar equipment (which should turn up today) and do some test loading and test cycling. Over the last weekend I fitted the baggage to the bike and loaded it up with random heavy items including the new tent, sleeping bag etc. There should be no problem with space or loading weight. I also tested out the tent and it seems OK although some dampness came through from the floor. Is that normal? I’m surprised.

I’ve written the pack-list in Google docs and shared it for everyone so you can always see the latest version. Its organized into sections. Feel free to take a copy for your own use.

Thanks Jan.I called the distributor today and they said pretty much the same thing.I hadnt noticed it before in any of my other tents (I have three!) and the fact that it was only happening under my sleeping mat led me to believe it was capillary type leakage. Its a very thin and light tent so could be the reason. I will take a groundsheet!

Thanks for responding.Steve.
